He went in the direction of the cry, and there he saw a number of young men running away from the prosecutor, who was lying drunk on the ground, and who said the men had robbed him of 7s. 6d. He sprung his rattle for assistance, and in a short time the prisoner was brought back by a police constable. _ Prisoner—The old man'says be lost 7m. 6d. ; why, how could he do that when he had only 4s. when he came out of the workhouse infirmary ? (Laughter.) Mr. Henry— All your questions shall be answered at the proper time. The prosecutor, a dissipated-looking man, said he came out of the infirmary with half a sovereign in his pocket, and, unfortunately, he changed it for drink. He took too much, and as b.e was going home some men set upon him, knocked him down, and stole his money. He could not say the prisoner was one of them. _ Prisoner—That's right. How could he ? It was be tween 12 and one, so how could he see? I want to know how he could be robbed of 7s 61 when he had only got 4s ? (Lau.ghter.) Prosecutor—l had half-a-sovereign, and it was changed to get drink with. Police-constable 46 E said the prisoner ran into his arms as he (witness) was proceeding in the direction of the sound of the constable's rattle. Several other police-constables having given evidence, Mr. Henry asked the prisoner what he had to say to the evidence of the constable. Prisoner—All I've got to say is that I know nothing about it. I went out of an errand for my sister, when the policeman collars me and walks me off to the station, Mr. Tierney, sister of the prisoner, said she kept a coal and greens shop in Compton-street, and on Monday night she sent the prisoner out to buy a candle about half-past 11, so he could not have committed the robbery. Constable White said when he went to make inquiries of Mrs. Tierney about the prisoner, she said she had not seen him for three weeks. Tierney-012, your worship, I never said so. I've a real English lady in her own right in Chancery, and one that's got a week coming to her, and she'll prove the boy has been at my place these three weeks. Its all false what the policeman says, and he knows it. Mr. Henry (to the prisoner)—The police seemed positive you were one of the parties who ill-used the man. Prisoner—Of course, they say so. Mr. Henry—What motive could they have for so doing it was not so ? Prisoner—Why, to get their is 6d a-day at the sessions. Mr. Henry-1 shall send the case to the sessions ; but before doing so I will hear what you have to say in answer to the charge. Prisoner—What I say I what's the use of my saying any thing. The police will swear all I say is false. The prisoner was then fully committed for trial, and as he was leaving the dock his female friend said to him— " Keep up your pluck, old tar." THE BOMBAY MAIL, We have ieceived files of papers from Bombay to the 29th December, and from Calcutta to the 29th December. - We take the following summary of news from the Bombay Gazette of the 29th December: — It is stated that Sir Wiliam Denison, Governor-General of India, has decided on remaining in Calcutta, The Go vernment Secretariat offices have Leen ordered down from the North-West.

Further intelligence has been received from the head quarters of his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, at Rawul Pindee, stating that affairs on the frontier had be come much more pacific. The villages of Laloo and Urn beyla were taken without any officer being killed or wounded, the enemy suffering severely. The Bonair tribe seem inclined to adhere to their engage ments, and the Bajouries and others who Lad come to their aid had fled. General Chamberlain has left the camp, and is improving in health. Letters from the North-West frontier contradict the re port of the death of Lieut. W. Batty e, of the Guide Corps, who was severely wounded when combating the enemy in the Umbeyla Pass. It is reported that the Camp of Exercise that was to have been formed at Mean Meer will most likely assemble at Rawul Pindee, and that Sir Hugh Rose will superintend the manceuvres in person.

The English mail of the 3d inst. has not arrived up to ,he hour of our going to press. Our latest telegrams are to he 25th November. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. THE BOMBAY MARKETS. (From the Bombay Gazette of Dec. 29.) Since the date of our last report no change for the better has taken place in the position of the import market, which has remained dull and stagnant owing to extreme scarcity of money. The export market has become rather more firm, in consequence of encouraging advices from Liverpool, and cotton has recovered more than 60r. per candy. FREIGHTS,-The remarks made last mail can be repeated. Natives are the principal operators and the extreme firm ness and confidence displayed by them appear to have re conciled shippers to ruling rates. Besides this the large quantity of seeds offering has greatly assisted to keep rates steady ; so that, notwithstanding we have again had heavy arrivals, the demand for all olasses of vessels has been good, and rates have been irmly maintained; tut there are not enough small vessels in port to supply the demand. THE CALCUTTA MARKETS. (From tl4 Calcutta Englishman of _Dec. 20.) The screw steamer Carnatic, with the London mails to Nov. 10, via Galle, arrived at her moorings in the river on the afternoon of the 13th inst., and the express portion of a week's later news. through Bombay, reached us on the morning of the 16th. Our latest London dates by the latter source are to the 19th ult. The Messageries Impe • riales screw steamer Erymanthe, with the European mails of a late date, is now coming up the river. Import Market—Piece Goods: Money being even scarcer than it was, there is literally nothing doing. Joint-Stock Shares.—The share-market is stagnant, and few but forced sales have been made since our last issue. Most of the loans on joint-stock shares have been called in by the banks, and higher margins and interest demanded, so that all descriptions are lower in value by 10 to 20 per cent. Serious loss has arisen on time bargains, large sales having been made to persons without means. Government Securities.—These securities have kept de clining as the pressure for money increased. The chief transactions have been forced sales on account of parties who were unable to keep up their loans, or who had de faulted in their time bargains. Fours have been sold at 88; Fives, at 100; and Fives-and-a-Half at 105. MARKETS—This Day. COVENT GARDEN. The supply of produce at our market to-day was season ably good.

We have to announce the demise of Sir William Atherton, late Attorney-General, who expired shortly before noon yesterday, at his residence in Westboufne-terrace. The late hon. gentleman was in his 58th year. He was the son of the late Rev. William Atherton, Wesleyan minister, by Margaret, daughter of the late Rev. Walter Morison, a minis ter of the Established Church of Scotland. He was educated in this country, and adopted the law as his profession. Atter going through the cus tomary legal education, he was called to the bar at the Inner Temple,and as a barrister went the Northern Circuit. He practised as a special pleader for some years, and in 1852 became a Queen's counsel and bencher. The same year he was returned in the Whig interest for Durham (cit 3 ), in conjunc tion with Mr, Granger. In 1857 he was elected at the head of the poll, having for his colleague the Right. Hon. J. R. Mowbray. On being appointed Solicitor-General in succession to Sir Henry S. Keating in 1860, he was re-elected without opposi tion. Sir William succeeded the present Lord Chancellor (Lord Westbury) as Attorney-General, and in the early part of the autumn last year was compelled to relinquish his dignified post as Attor ney-General, owing to his greatly impaired health. Owing to the death of the learned gentleman a vacancy takes place in the representation of the city of Durham. The late Sir William married in 1843 Agnes Mary, second daughter of Mr. Thomas J. Hall, the late chief magistrate of Bow-street. Sir William was an advanced Liberal in politics, being in favour of vote by ballot, and consequently extent sion of the suffrage. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE FOLLY OF TREATING STRANGERS.—A WELL KNOWN THIEF.—Emily Sinclair and Charlotte Johnson, the former a well-known thief, were charged before Mr. Knox, with stealing a watch of the value of £5, from the person of a young man named Girling, porter at 12, Cork street, Burlington-gardens. From the evidence of the prosecutor, it appeared that about one o'clock this morning he went into the Duke of York public house, Union-street, Oxford-street, and there saw the prisoners. They asked him to treat them, and ho did so, and on doing so he felt a tug at his watch, and on looking at his chain found that his watch was gone, the swivel of the chain having been broken. He accused Sin clair, who was the nearest to him of having taken it, and thinking she might have passed it to the other pri soner, gave them both into custody. While on the way to the station Sinclair dropped the watch from under her clothes. Police constable Wm. Claricoats, 72 C, said on taking the prisoners into oustody, he observed Sinclair put her hand under clothes, and while going along Oxford •street she dropped the prosecutor's watch. Mr. Knox asked if anything was known of the prisoners, and Sergeant Fornett said that Sinclair had several times been in custody for felony, and had once suffered 18 months' imprisonment. Mr. Knox said he should discharge Johnson, and re mand Sinclair that tho convictions against her might be proved. THAMES. WIFE BEATING—WiIIiam Perry, aged 28, a labourer, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with assaulting his wife Elizabeth, who carried a baby in her arms. Her face was swollen and her left eye blackened. Upon enter ing the witness box she said the prisoner was her husband and the father of her children, and she did not wish him to be sent to prison. Mr. Partridge said there were marks of considerable violence on the woman's face, and he would not allow the charge to be withdrawn. She was then s worn and stated that she was living at No. 4, Windsor-terrace, Canal-road, Stepney. Her husband came home intoxicated last night. He was like a madman, He called her by the most filthy names, and said he had come home for the purpose of breaking everything id the place, and said that she must provide another home for herself and five children. He then beat her about the head, face, and body with his fists most fear fully. He had very often beaten her when he was under the influence of liquor, but he was very well when he was sober. He was in the practice of stopping away from his home all night. Lydia Smith, a poor seamstress, who looked half f. mished, said she lived in the same house as Mr. and Mrs. Perry. The wife was an industrious and very clean woman. The prisoner came home last night and beat his wife in a most frightful manner. He commenced by kicking over a tub of water with which his wife was cleaning the passage, and said "out you go." The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said his wife com mitted adultery with a beer shop-keeper named Adams, who carried on business in Limehouse, and they were seen coming out of a house of bad repute a fortnight after she was confined with her child. She commenced using very foul language when ho came home last night. The prisoner then gave utterance to a volley of blasphemy and obscenity as an illustration of what his wife said. He was frequently checkel by the magistrate. The wife was recalled, and denied emphatically that she had given her husband any cause for complaint, and the witness Mrs. Smith said the complainant was a well conducted woman. After a long discussion, Mr. Partridge said the prisoner was not bound to maintain his wife if she was false to him, but she denied on oath what her husband alleged against her. The prisoner was an ill-conditioned, badly disposed man, and he had wounded his wife very sevfrely on a former occasion by flinging a basin at her. He believed the wife was very desirous of speaking the truth, and that she had a good feeling towards the prisoner, whom she wished to screen from punishment when she entered the witness-box. The prisoner was a savage fellow, and his boisterous and improper conduct in court did not say much in his favour. He sentenced him to be imprisoned for one month and kept to hard labour. WESTMINSTER. IN THE LOWEST DEPTH IS A LOWER STILL. —Mary Ann Hudson, a woman about 25 years of age, was charged with being drunk, and using the most disgraceful and offensive language to a lady, and otherwise miscondueting herself, Sergeant Ayres, 27 D, said that there was a dress ball last night at the Vestry Hall, King's-road, Chelsea, and as the company entered the defendant posted herself at the door and conducted herself very disgracefully, using a most offensive epithet to a lady, who gave her no provoca tion, and who kindly repaid the insult by entreating that defendant should not be taken into custody for it. Witness then removed the defendant and sent a constable to watch her, who finding that she continued her impropriety of con duct took her into custody, and conveyed her to the station. The defendant, in reply to the charge, said she never used any bad language to any one, although she admitted that she had been drinking. Dennis, the gaoler, said she was a well known and most disorderly woman. _ _ Defendant—Oh, dear me, no, I am Lot. Mr. Selfe—l have only been at this court a twelvemonth, and I have seen you here at least ten or twelve times. Defendant—l always have the bad luck to be brought before you. Dennis—That is not true, She is quite as often before Mr. Arnold. I think she has been here altogether fifty times. Mr. Selfe—lt is my duty to protect the public from an noyance by persons of your class, and I shall certainly do it. You are, unhappily, not only a person of a certain immoral condition of life, but you become worse and worse, and are an habitual drunkard. This sort of conduct can not be permitted to go on, and I now caution you for the last time of the consequences. Now you are committed for ten days; and next time you come hero I will send you, in default of bail, to prison for six. months. THE ARCHDUKE MAXIMILIAN, on ascending the Mexican throne, will continue to use the motto which his arms now bear—" Equite dans la justice." A NEW WORK, entitled "Poets and Novelists of the Nineteenth Century," is about to appear from the hand of Mr. S. F. Williams, author of " Critical Es says," and a well-known contributor to " The Rose, Sham rock, and Thistle" Magazine, and other periodicals. THE NEW COMET, discovered on the 28th of December last, by Respighi, is said to be rapidly approaching us, and will be at the point of least distance (happily for us a trifle of some 18,000,000 of miles) about the Ist of February. It is probably the comet which was observed in 1310, and i►s period is therefore something over 53 years. 'VEGETABLES.

The Mejniooai Funoon (a monthly publication) belongs to the Jemiyeti Ilmiyehi Osmaniyeb, or Ottoman Literary Society, the newly- formed Useful Knowledge Society, and is compiled by its mem bers. The editors are Munif Effendi and Kafiri Bey. Among the contributors are H. H. Kiamil Pasha, late Grand Vizier, H. E. Edhem Pasha, H. E. Safest Pasha, H. E. Mehemed Jemil Pasha, Ambassador in Paris, Said Effendi (now in London on a mission), and Abu Bekr Effendi, Mussulman missionary at the Cape. The latter has contributed a series of letters on the Cape of Good Hope, which furnished the groundwork of a cock-and-bull story, in the . English papers, according to which, the missionary of the Turkish Society for the Propagation of Islam among the Christians hae depicted the dissensions among the Christians at the Cape, how a Bishop Colenso had criticised the texts of Scripture, and how he believed that in ten years' time thesinhabi tants would abandon Christianity and adopt Islam ; to promote which result, he recommended that a number of well-paid Turkish missionaries should be sent to the Cape, and that a liberal distribution sheuld be made of well-written Mnssulman tracts. The real history of Abu Bekr's mission is, per haps, more interesting than the imaginary one. In Cape Town, a city of thirty thousand inhabitants, ten thousand are Mussulmans, acknowledging the Padishah as the head of their religion. When you were in Constantinople, the Turks were much tickled, by bearing from their Consul-General, Mr. De Roubaix, that there were Mussulmans who only spoke English or Dutch. It is a great satisfaction to the Turks to have these Mussulman dependents in an English territory, as they do not always bear with perfect complacency the assertion of some of the English here, that Queen Victoria is the greatest sovereign over Mussulmans, and our ambassador, Sir Henry Balwer represents the first Mussulman power. Dissensions on point of doctrine arising among the Mussalmans at the Cape, the matter was re ferred to Stamboul; and the Sublime Porte, instead of giving a verbal opinion, with great liberality sent out a distinguished mollah, Abu Bekr Effendi, well known in Stamboul circles, and they continue to pay him a salary of £4OO a year. Aba Bekr Effendi has done much to improve the religious and moral condition of the Mussulmans of the Cape, and has established a school there. He has communi cated to the Mei moocti Funoon some interesting ac counts of the Cape, and his proceedings ; not, how ever, mentioning one little fact which has interested his numerous Stamboul acquaintance, that he has married there an English-speaking Mussulman lady, who is highly accomplished and plays the piano, like several fashionable Khanums, in Stam boul. _ The Mejmooai, besides purely literary articles, has articles on geology by Edhem Pasha, banking by Munif Effendi and Kadri Bey, telegrams, &c. As it is written in a good and pure style it is much liked. Was the Earl of Essex---Eamlet 3 Shakspere being known to have been acquainted —freshly acquainted—with Southampton at the time when " Hamlet" was first planned and pro duced, may have conceived his character of Hamlet from Essex, and that of Horatio from Southampton ! The indications which would point to such a con clusion are not few. The common people regarded Essex as a prince, descended through his father from Edward the Third, and through his mother the immeliate kinsman of Elizabeth; and some persons, like Sir John Hayward, imagined that his title to the throne was better than the Queen's. In person, for he had his father's beauty, he was all that Shakspere has described in the Prince of Denmark—the glass of fashion and the mould of form ; the observed of all observers. Then, again, in his family relations, as in his personal position and appearance, he resembled very closely the ideal prince. His mother had been tempted from her duty while her gracious and noble husband was alive. That handsome and generous husband was supposed to have been poisoned by the guilty pair who had done him such cruel wrong. After the father's murder, the seducer had married the consenting mother. That father had not perished in his prime without feeling and expressing some doubt that foul play had been used against him ; he had sent from his deathbed his forgiveness to the guilty woman who had sacrificed his honour, and perhaps taken away his life. All these parti. calars in the real life of Essex, and in the imaginary life of Hamlet are pointed out. There certainly is an exceeding singularity of agreement in the facts of the case acid the incidents of the play. The re. lation of Claudine to Hamlet is very much the same as that of Leicester to Essex. Under the pre tence of fatherly friendship, Leicester was suspicious of his nephew's motives and jealous of his actions; he kept the young man much in the country and at college; he let him see but little of his mother, and clouded his prospects in the world by an appear ance of benignant favour. Fear was probably at the root of all his conduct to the ardent, volatile youth. Gertrude's relations to her son were much I like those of Lettice to R ober t Devereux. She I loved him much, but she feared him more. She could never quite reconcile him to his stepfather : a little more than kin and less than kind. Then, again, " in his moodiness, in his college learning, in his love for the theatre and the players, in his desire for the fiery Action for which his nature was most unfit, there Are many kinds of hints calling up au image of thee Danish prince." HER MAJESTY'S STAGHoUNDs.—The meet yes terday was at Frog-green, Wokingtom, whence there was a fast and capital run in the direction. A.leading, and the take was at Calcot, a few miles/westward of that town. It was generally admitted by the field that this' ;Was one of the best days sport of the season. DEATH OF A COLUMBINE FROM FlRX.—Yeaterday morning Madame Maria Charles, aged 27 years, a Columbine lately engaged in the pantomime at .the Pavilion Theatre, Whitechapel-road, expired in the accident ward of the London Hospital, from the mortal effects of burns re ceived by her dress taking fire while engaged in her duties on the stage about a fortnight ago. The unfortunate woman had been employed since Christmas-eve, and on the night of the accident, towards the termination of the pantomime, she retired to the back portion of the stage to adjust her dress, which by scow means came in contact with the gas jets arranged behind a pet piece of scenery. She was at once enveloped in flames, but the scene shifters and the M arta ger s procured wet blatakets, which were kept on the side of the stage, and speedily subdued the remnants of the burning dress. She was shockingly burnt over the back, and was a t once removed to the above - name d institution, but the shock to her system ultimately caused death. An inquest will be held on the body this day. 1031 41 STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER, January 22.—Cotton Goods.—The gradual decline of prices which has taken place during the last few weeks has made business rather more practicable to-day. The stoppage of mills has probably helped to this result, because the les sened production in a market not much burdened with stock naturally tends to strengthen the hands of sellers both of cloth and yarn. In the yarn market there has been a decidedly better feeling, with more business doing, and in some cases a shade higher prices obtainable than spinners would have accepted even so lately as yesterday. The business effected in shipping yarns has been chiefly for Ctiina, India, and the Mediterranean markets. The sellers of home-trade yarns have asked rather high prices, but only a small amount of business has been done. Practically there has been no change in prices, but there has been more inquiry, and a less gloomy feeling existed than in the earlier part of the week. In cloths there has been but little done since Tuesday, and the improvement has been slight. The extreme flatness which existed up to that (ley has given way a little, and some business has been done for China, owing to better accounts having been received by the mail to-day. Advices from Calcutta by the same mail are only a day later than those previously to hand, bat report a rather better feeling there. These advices have led to little or no business. Some offers have been made on India account, but of too speculative a character and at prices too low to be favourably entertained. The demand from the home trade is of no account ; and though the market on the whole is rather firmer, there is very little change in the relative position of buyers and sellers. The large orders held on foreign account have not yet been thrown upon the market, and the aggregate business is reported to have been small. At Hong Kong, Dec. 15, 8-1-lb. shirtings were 2s. 61 to 3s. 6d. per piece higher. FUNERAL OF ADMIRAL HAMELIN. The funeral of this distinguished French admiral took place on Thursday last at the Church of the Invalides. Paris, and was conducted with much ceremony. A numerous body of troops, consisting of eight battalions of infantry, a battalion of light infantry, two squadrons of cavalry, two batteries of artillery, a battalion and a squadron of the Paris Guard, with their bands and colours, was present, and the Imperial Gaard was represented by a bat talion and a squadron of the corps. The troops were massed around the church, and presented arms at the same time as those of their com rades who were on duty within the building. The navy was represented by many officers of high rank who were stationed around the bier. Several Mini sters, diplomatists, marshals, and officers of the Imperial household were present, as well as a great number of officials of all descriptions, and depu tations from the army, National Guard, the Senate, the Legislature, the Council of State, and many other bodies. The Emperor was represented by an aide-de-camp, General of Division Mollard, and by Count de Laferriere, one of his Ma jesty's chamberlains. Prince Napoleon and the Princess Mathilde were also represented. A portion of the church was set apart for the use of the deceased admiral's family and friends, amongst whom, as chief mourners, were the admi ral's eldest son, Captain E. Hamelin ; his second son, Captain A. Hamelin ; and his nephew, M. Desvarannes. The cords of the pall were held by Baroche, Minister of Justice ; Marshal Vaillant, Minister of the Imperial Household and of Fine Arts ; Count de Chasseloup-Laubat, Minister of Marine and of Colonies; and Vice-Admiral Trehouart, senator, representing Admiral Desfosses, who was indis'posed. At the commencement of the ceremony a salvo of 11 guns was fired by the artillery stationed on the quai of the Invalides, and during the progress of the service a military band played alter nately with the organ and with the vocal music executed by the choristers. A second salvo of 11 guns was fired at the conclusion of the ceremony, and at 1 o'clock the coffin, on a car drawn by six horses, was conveyed to the gate of the Invalides, when the troops marched past. The mortal remains of the gallant sailor were eventually borne by some petty officers in the navy to the vaults of the church, where by order of the Emperor, they are to repose, surrounded by many a gallant old soldier.

CONVICTED BY MISTAKE.—The Recorder of Devonport has now under consideration a case, in which it is believed that injustice is being done to three youths, who aro at present in Devonport gaol. James Attis, John Jenkins, and Charles Smith, whose ages vary from fourteen to seventeen years, were convicted at the last Devonport sessions for stealing part of a leaden pipe be longing to the water cistern of a house at Ford, The only material evidence againaf them was that of Police-con stable Dyer, who deposed that before he knew of the com mission of the robbery he mat the prisoners in a road near Ford, at three o'clock in the morning ; that he ques tioned them and searched them, a lamp-post being close by, and finding nothing upon them, he let them go. They pre sently began to run, and the stolen property was found on the road which they had passed. There is no question but that the youths thus met were the thieves, but there is a doubt, amounting to a positive disproof, that they were Attis, Jenkins, and Smith. Dyer, the policeman who apprehended them a day or two afterwards, has from the first been most positive that the prisoners were the boys ho met, and he still maintains that he was not mistaken. His evidence, unsupported, and contradicted by two witnesses, induced a majority of the jury to return a verdict of guilty. We say a majority, because the jury were so doubtful on the matter that they not only retired for consultation, but, on returning, their foreman, by a lapeus linguae, let out the divided state of feeling by giving as a verdict, " Guilty, but recommended to mercy because the evidence is not clear against them." The prisoners were undefended, and this strange verdict passed unchallenged, and the lads were sentenced to terms of imprison ment varying from four to eighteen months, and to be whipped. The former punishment they are now en during, the latter, fortunately, has not as yet been carried out. On the arrival of the lads at Devonport Prison, they were seen by the chaplain, the Rev. Mr. May. From the time of their apprehension they all protested that the police had got hold of the wrong parties, and this assertion was renewed with so much earnestness to the chaplain that that gentleman made inquiries. Aided by Mr. Eastlake, solicitor to the Admiralty, Mr. May sot to work to find out the truth ; discovered and ex amined important witnesses, and brought their statements before the authorities. The result has been that, after careful investigations, the jury who con victed the lads have signed a memorial expressing their unanimous belief that the prisoners are innocent ; and the Devonport magistrates, having made independent inquiries, have forwarded therm emorial of the jury to the Recorder, commending their pyer to his attention. The mass of evidence now brought to light showing the inno cence of the prisoners is not only conclusive, but really astonishing. It is discovered that not only were Attie, Smith, and Jenkins not guilty, but that three other lads, somewhat resembling them, whose names are well known, are the real culprits. Attie and Smith slept on the night of the robbery at a lodging-house kept by one Painter, and in the same room with them were four other persons, all poor, of course, but two of them of unblemished charac ter. who have positively declared that the lads named did nut leave the room the whole night through. Jenkins, the third prisoner, was that night sleeping at a house at the back of King-street, and four oat of the five who slept in the same room with him have declared to the Magistrate that the boy slept in the same bedroom. But, to crown all, a lad recently released from prison is found, who confesses that it was he who committed the robbery, with two companions. A second member of this second trio has been seen, and in timates that he would confess if ho were assured that a pro secution would not follow. Under these circumstances the Recorder of Devenport will probably advise Sir George Grey to advise the Queen to pardon the three prisoners for ; an offence which it is clear they never committed.— Western Morning 2Yetes. The Proposed Oxford-street Underground Railway. Yesterday, at the weekly meeting of the Maryle bone Vestry, Mr. Churchwarden Hodges in the chair, A memorial was preserited from the inhabitants of Oxford-street, praying that body, in the inte rests of the parish, to coaoperate with them in a, determined opposition to the projected undergrour.d railway from the Marble Arch, under Oxford-strext and Holborn to Farringdon-street. Mr. POLAND, in moving that the prayer of the memorial be complied with, said the inhabitants of Oxford street had determined to Oppose the scheme at every stage; for, as its promoters had deposited the money required by Parliament, they appeared determined to go on with it in defiance of opinion. With a view to opposition, the inhabi, bitants of Oxford , street had signed a guarantee that each pay one shilling in the pound on their respective rentals; and they hoped to defeat the bill on standing orders, as the promoters intended to take sixty cellars, or parts of cellars, with out giving the owners any notice. If they were permitted tocarry such a bill, Oxford-street would cut a pretty figure, for they had noticed that they required 78 houses, and he should like to know where the tradesmen, when turned out, were to go. The vestry were deeply interested in pro tecting the rates of the parish, and therefore they hoped to have their co-operation. air JAMES HAMILTON seconded the resolution, and hoped the opposition would be unanimous in protecting one of the finest trading streets in Europe from destruction. The resolution was carried unanimously. A report was presented from the Railway Rating Committee agreeing to accept as a compromise an assessment of £8,400 instead of 112,700 on the Metropolitan Railway in the parish of Marylebone. Mr. Taverner and Mr. Surridge contended that a bad bargain had been made, as if they had gone into Court the parish would have got £lO,OOO. A very long discussion took place, and it being understood that the assessment was only for a year, the amendment was withdrawn and the motion carried.

SUDDEN DEATH OF MR. LLOYD, THE COMEDIAN. —We regret to announce the sudden death of Mr. Frederick Lloyd, which took place on the 17th inst. The deceased, who was only in his 31st year, will be favourably remembered as the principal comedian of the Theatres Royal, Manchester and Liverpool, whilst metropolitan play-goers may recollect the success with which he filled a similar position at Astley's last year, when that theatre was under the management of Mr. Boucicault. Mr. Lloyd ap peared in his usual good health when on Monday, the 11th inst., ho went to the Polytechnic, where he had been for some weeks engaged as a buffo vocalist ; but whilst he was on the stage he broke a blood vessel, and he was immedi ately conveyed to the Middlesex Hospital. Every attention was there paid to him, but in vain. lie lingered through the week, and died on Sunday last, the 17th inst,, at 11 o'clock in the forenoon. Mr. Frederick Lloyd was greatly beloved and respected by a large circle of friends, and, un happily he leaves behind him a heart-broken wife and three young children to mourn his irreparable loss.—ffra.
